Warriors' caution on Anthony Davis trade pays off as Wizards pause extension talks

The Warriors’ decision to pass on multiple first‑round picks for Anthony Davis last month is vindicated as Washington pauses extension talks, planning to revisit mid-season. Davis, now eligible for a four-year extension worth up to $275 million, won’t sign before next season amid health questions and Wizards’ leverage, making a future deal unlikely and keeping Golden State focused on maintaining cap space for the coming offseason.

Warriors bow out of LeBron pursuit as Davis price stalls deal

The Warriors reportedly won’t meet the Wizards’ hefty price for Anthony Davis, effectively ending Golden State’s pursuit of LeBron James and shifting leverage to Washington, which could flip Davis for a massive haul. With Davis in play, Cavaliers, Heat, and 76ers are seen as front-runners to sign James, and the situation remains fluid as LeBron’s destination remains undecided.

LeBron and Green Spark Free-Agent Buzz With Secret Meet-Up

LeBron James and Draymond Green were spotted meeting at an undisclosed location this week as James weighs his free-agent options; ESPN's Shams Charania revealed the link-up after Green opted out of his 27.7 million option to give the Warriors cap space to pursue LeBron. The Warriors reportedly envision a package involving Anthony Davis, but Charania noted LeBron's likely destinations remain the Cavaliers, Heat and 76ers, making the secret meetup a potential pivotal recruiting moment for the Warriors.

Warriors plot LeBron-AD cap comeback after Porziņģis deal

CBS Sports outlines a potential Golden State path to landing LeBron James and Anthony Davis after signing Kristaps Porziņģis: use Draymond Green’s opt-out to free cap space for a non-taxpayer midlevel exception, possibly shuffle Moses Moody’s contract, and pursue trades (potentially swapping Jimmy Butler’s deal for Davis) to fit the money. The plan hinges on tight cap math, willing trades, and favorable early-year salaries or options, but the piece argues the LeBron–AD duo for the Warriors remains a viable if complex possibility.

Blazers Pull Off Morant Swap, Signal Holiday Stay as Davis Talks Cool

Blazers Pull Off Morant Swap, Signal Holiday Stay as Davis Talks Cool

Portland stunned the league by trading for Ja Morant from Memphis in exchange for Jerami Grant and Kris Murray, joining a lineup that already features Damian Lillard and Scoot Henderson. With Morant in the mix, insiders say the Blazers are more likely to keep Jrue Holiday and have cooled on pursuing Anthony Davis, sending messages to other teams that Holiday isn’t going anywhere. The resulting core—Morant, Holiday, Henderson, Avdija, Clingan, and Sharpe—aims to elevate Portland after a 42-40 playoff finish, with the team eyeing further improvement in the 2026-27 season.

Warriors Bet on LeBron in Free Agency, AD Trade Looks Like a Long Shot

The Warriors are focused on signing LeBron James in free agency rather than pursuing a trade for Anthony Davis, with no progress reported on Wizards talks; Draymond Green’s opt-out and Porzingis’s re-signing complicate cap space, likely forcing salary moves (potentially Moses Moody) to access the full non-taxpayer mid-level exception, making an AD deal unlikely for now.

Warriors Weigh LeBron Bid Amid Davis Talk, Butler’s Place Remains Key

Golden State is reportedly LeBron James’ top external option as free agency nears, with chatter about trading for Anthony Davis to bolster a bid—though the Warriors aren’t treating LeBron and Davis as a package and remain reluctant to trade Jimmy Butler; Draymond Green declined his player option and is expected to re-sign on a multi-year deal, while Butler remains a central part of the team’s long-term plans.

Warriors' audacious cap plan targets LeBron James and Anthony Davis

Warriors' audacious cap plan targets LeBron James and Anthony Davis

A speculative, cap-driven blueprint proposes the Golden State Warriors could lure LeBron James in free agency and acquire Anthony Davis via trade by using Jimmy Butler as a salary match, with Draymond Green needing to opt out or renegotiate to create space and the team possibly leveraging a non-taxpayer midlevel exception for James. The plan hinges on complex sign-and-trade maneuvers (potentially involving Moses Moody and other assets) to stay under the first apron, making this a highly conditional, theoretical route rather than a guaranteed outcome.

Warriors pursue Anthony Davis trade as LeBron–Davis pairing rumors swirl

The Golden State Warriors are reportedly pursuing a trade for Anthony Davis from the Washington Wizards, with rumors that a LeBron James–Davis pairing could form in Golden State. Any deal would likely hinge on Washington receiving Jimmy Butler’s expiring contract and at least one unprotected first-round pick, while Golden State leverages its draft assets to create cap space. Davis hasn’t played for Washington due to a hand injury, and the plan to pair the two stars with the Warriors remains unconfirmed rumor.

Off-season roulette: where LeBron, Kawhi, Brown, and Davis could land

CBS Sports’ expert roundtable lays out competing landing spots for LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard, Jaylen Brown and Anthony Davis: LeBron could stay with the Lakers or move to the Warriors, Kawhi is likely headed back to the Raptors, Brown could land with a variety of teams (Rockets, Trail Blazers, Nuggets, Celtics, etc.), and Davis is discussed in possible Warriors-package talks or other scenarios, reflecting a wide-open, rumor-filled off-season with no clear consensus.

Warriors target LeBron and Davis as Green kicks off a multi-step cap reset

Draymond Green declined his $27.7 million option, helping set the stage for a bold, multi-part plan to pair LeBron James and Anthony Davis with Stephen Curry in Golden State. The strategy hinges on significant cap maneuvering and potential trades (including a possible path through the Wizards for Davis) and would rely on Porziņģis as a factor. It’s a high-risk, high-reward pursuit that would age poorly if prices are too steep or health falters, but would give Curry one final, memorable push rather than a straightforward rebuild.

Green Opts Out of Warriors Deal as LeBron/Davis Rumors Surface

Draymond Green has declined the Warriors’ $27.7 million option for the 2026-27 season, amid reports the team is pursuing LeBron James and trading for Anthony Davis. Insiders say Golden State would prefer a longer-term deal at a lower annual salary, leaving Green’s future with the franchise uncertain but not predetermined. Green posted 8.4 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists last season, and while he previously said he couldn't see himself playing for another franchise, the right offer could change that.
